...
( MATERIAL - ALUMINUM INCH - 2024 )
( T241 | 3/4 FLAT ENDMILL | H241 | XY STOCK TO LEAVE - .02 | Z STOCK TO LEAVE - 0. )
( T240 | 5/8 FLAT ENDMILL | H240 | XY STOCK TO LEAVE - .02 | Z STOCK TO LEAVE - 0. )
( T239 | 1/2 FLAT ENDMILL | H239 | XY STOCK TO LEAVE - .02 | Z STOCK TO LEAVE - 0. )
( T237 | 3/8 FLAT ENDMILL | H237 | XY STOCK TO LEAVE - .02 | Z STOCK TO LEAVE - 0. )
( T235 | 1/4 FLAT ENDMILL | H235 | XY STOCK TO LEAVE - .02 | Z STOCK TO LEAVE - 0. )
( T5 | | H5 )
( T3 | | H3 | XY STOCK TO LEAVE - .02 | Z STOCK TO LEAVE - 0. )
( T4 | | H4 | XY STOCK TO LEAVE - .02 | Z STOCK TO LEAVE - 0. )
( T6 | | H6 | XY STOCK TO LEAVE - .02 | Z STOCK TO LEAVE - 0. )
( T7 | | H7 | XY STOCK TO LEAVE - .02 | Z STOCK TO LEAVE - 0. )
( T232 | 1/8 FLAT ENDMILL | H232 | XY STOCK TO LEAVE - .02 | Z STOCK TO LEAVE - 0. )
...
[begin rest of code]
Since tools T4 through T7 ARE USED in the code, I'm not sure how to set up the tooling, because they're not described in the comments like the other tools are.
Any help for a noob?
Thanks,
B
